I saw this article this morning and was expecting to see Dragon Capsules on Duna everywhere http://www.iflscience.com/space/how-spacex-plans-land-mars

Yep first flight 1951 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hunter

WASD camera is hard to get used to, I ended up getting rid of it. EEX is good, make sure you know your keyboard shortcuts for symmetry and radial multipliers x and shift x. Intake Build Aid and RCSBuildAid are also very useful.

You want to make this hard for me don't you? I have to admit the orbital stuff is not my forte and it will be a bit eyeballed because my math is to rusty for anything else. I need to get Goslash27 or someone like that to help me.

Yes there was

This fixes not being able to use the brakes action group then put the functions of the airbrakes in a different action group

Someone else showed me the answer, set the sirbrakes to retract in the brakes action group.

Make the flag background transparent, then resize the text, but the biggest text is the police sign.

So I am looking at this day for the rendezvous Day 155, see a low dV transfer here - - - Updated - - - I also have a very basic Hermes as a stand in for doing the orbit, it's going to be tricky, I need to hyper edit Hermes in to orbit and a few hours before the save file time, either add the required speed to make the transfer or allow the player to run the transfer. I lean towards having the Hermes on a transfer already as otherwise there is no sense of urgency.

If you use the flag decals mod you could put the police sign on it

They also clip together around a single one, I did that with my Ares 1 replica, 9 Kickbacks to provide enough thrust for the stack.

I think this is the one I saw previously https://m.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/2xd3u4/kerbal_aldrin_cycler_i_did_the_math/

Well done pTrevTrevs and all the contributors!

If you have lots of nuclear power and water why bother even liquifying it.

Theres a scifi book with tethered cans in a cycler orbit, maybe ion propulsion core with winches for the cans

I saw a video of a guy set up a cycler mod once, it only required 80ms correction each end he was having trouble detaching it from the timeline to self maintain. - - - Updated - - - So if its 2150ms for a Duna transfer (non efficient) and 2400ms into LKO, would it cost the full 2150ms to catch the cycler briefly? Or would it be a much smaller amount?

I mean submitted craft with new forum posts from the last week

You know you can use stuff that was just mentioned, not just submitted from the last week?

If you build a frame around the outside of the fairing, then strut from the cargo to the frame, then take the frame away the cargo will remain strutted to the fairing.

That is a really good build, I can tell when someone puts a fine touch on things. The only problem is it's very....flexible. I am not sure whether that is by design. I am not sure if it fits my idea of what Hermes should be. I want something a bit more substantial and with more living space, maybe not as big as the movie version but a bit bigger.

Thanks JAFO for the maps, I have updated the marked maps with approximate locations. I think it will take about 4 hours real time to drive. I made about an hour and a half with only one roll, should be a fun trip. - - - Updated - - - Ares 3 Base is at -15.4468 : -34.9365

He actually wrote a program to calculate it

The real question is why does hermes ever go into orbit, its more like a cycler than a transfer vehicle - - - Updated - - - I guess because of emergencies like the one that happened

Testing testing testing, at least I am getting closer to the ground

In the save file it will be on course for a Duna flyby in a matter of hours, I don't really need for it to be launched piece by piece on an Ares V, though it would be nice if it was. I need it to have a docking port free, in regular operation it would have a Duna Ascent Vehicle, Duna Descent Vehicle or resupply ship docked, maybe more than one at a time. I can give you a download link for the Ares V if you want. It's working OK but not quite ready for release. Yep it was approved, I have also made a project page for this.
